Kiambu County leaders on Tuesday evening held talks with the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport, Davis Chirchir, aimed at accelerating the implementation of road infrastructure projects across the county.

The meeting brought together Members of Parliament from Kiambu County, senior officials from the Ministry of Roads and Transport, and heads of key road agencies to review the status of ongoing and planned projects and to align priorities with the county’s rapid urbanisation and economic growth.

Among those present were Githunguri MP Hon. Gathoni Wamuchomba, HSC, Principal Secretary Eng. Joseph Mbugua, Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) Director General Eng. Silas Kinoti, and officials from the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA).

Leaders emphasised the need for coordinated planning between national government agencies and elected representatives to ensure timely execution of projects and optimal use of public resources. They noted that improved road infrastructure is critical to sustaining economic growth, addressing congestion, and supporting emerging urban centres in the county.

The leaders also reaffirmed the government’s commitment to infrastructure development through sustainable financing, inter-agency collaboration, and efficient project delivery, with the goal of promoting inclusive growth and balanced national development.

Speaking after the meeting, Hon. Wamuchomba said leaders from Kiambu County were united in prioritising service delivery and development-focused engagements.
